This paper presents a description of the efficacy of lexical blends like ‘Luísque’ (‘Lula’ + ‘uísque’) and ‘Jeguerino’ (‘Jegue’ + ‘Severino’) in Agamenon Mendes Pedreira’s articles, published by the newspaper O Globo once in a week. This study shows that lexical blends are constructions that cause an expressive impact at textual and discursive levels. It also argues that blends are a resource for the expression of humor in these articles.
